… Cost savings and a longer service life for your household appliances.
Higher energy consumption due to deposits on the heating elements of appliances. This leads to higher energy consumption by the appliances. Deposits as little as 1 mm can already result in up to 10% higher energy consumption.

1. Cost savings
Dissolved limescale can accumulate particularly in hot water pipes and household appliances that use hot water, such as dishwashers, coffee machines and washing machines. Limescale deposits on heating elements can increase the energy consumption of appliances. Under certain conditions, deposits as little as 1 mm can increase energy consumption by up to 10%. Reducing limescale deposits can help maintain the performance of the respective household appliances and reduce potential consequential costs.
2. Reduction of pipe and water damage
Limescale deposits can reduce the cross-section of pipes and thereby impair their flow capacity. A water softening system reduces the formation of limescale deposits and can therefore help reduce the risk of impairments caused by limescale deposits.
3. Benefits for skin, hair, laundry and surfaces
Softened water can help make skin and hair feel softer after washing and keep laundry softer.With softened water, fewer limescale deposits can form on glass surfaces, bathtubs and washbasins. This can reduce the effort required for cleaning.Depending on the water hardness and the detergent used, softened water can reduce the amount of detergent required. The appropriate detergent dosage should be based on the instructions provided by the respective detergent manufacturer.
Prime Inventions offers two limescale protection solutions with essentially two different operating principles. The so-called ion exchange process to soften water The Kalko Innova procedure which, via a special and long-lasting granulate, builds up a natural lime protection
Ion exchange procedure
This has been a tried-and-tested water-softening process for decades. And this is how it works: Normal tap water contains so-called hardness formers such as calcium (Ca2+)- and magnesium (Mg2+)-, which are responsible for the hard water. In the softening system, these hardness builders, which are present in ion form, are exchanged for harmless sodium ions (Na+) while the water flows over the ion exchange resin beads (inside the system). However, the exchange capacity of the ion exchange filling in the device for the hardeners is limited. After a certain amount of water has flowed through, the ion exchange resin is full and must be freed again, regenerated. The regeneration takes place with simple common salt which is dissolved as brine in the device. Our softening systems regularly carry out regeneration automatically. That means you don’t have to worry about it. Only the refilling of salt tablets, so-called broxettes, every 3 months is necessary, which can be done in a very short time.
